TV Series Based on Sin City Comics in the Works

Sin City is a comic book series created by Frank Miller and published by Dark Horse Comics that ran from 1991 until 2000. The neo-noir series didn’t follow a single character or group of characters, but instead consisted of different story-lines that all occur in the infamous Basin City. These stories were called yarns and had different lead characters, with familiar faces popping up in some stories. The stories were gritty, violent and the series had a unique visual style, mostly black and white but strategically using bright colours to highlight characters or objects.

A TV series based on the comic series was recently announced. Many will know Sin City from the two feature films, Sin City and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, which were co-directed by Robert Rodriguez and series creator Frank Miller. These films sported a very impressive cast with Bruce Willis, Jessica Alba and Benicio Del Toro, to name a few.

The TV series will serve as a reboot to the franchise, which means we will get to see a retake on some of the same stories featured the films, but will also get to see the stories that didn’t make the cut. It has also been said that new characters and story-lines will be created specifically for the show, in a similar fashion to The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones.

Glen Mazarra, who has worked on The Walking Dead and The Shield, recently signed on to serve as the new series’ showrunner. Stephen L’Heureux, who previously worked on Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, will serve as a producer and will help Mazarra with the series creation. Len Wiseman, known for Sleepy Hollow and Lucifer, will direct the pilot episode for the new series. Bob and Harvey Weinstein have also signed on to produce the series.

Currently, no TV network has picked up the Sin City TV series, but given the subject matter, there is bound to be a lot of competition. There is no timeline regarding when we can expect the series. Hopefully, we won’t have too long to wait.

I joined Geek Ireland in October 2016 I'm loving it. I'm an avid watcher of TV, Anime and Movies and I love playing Video Games, my favourite game is The Last of Us.
I will try and keep the Irish Geek Nation up to date on all of these and anything else that catches my eye.
I also volunteer at lots of festivals, so I will write a few articles on them too from time to time.
